Exploring the Beautiful Locations

Located in the picturesque Minabe town, famous as the birthplace of Nanko plums, the Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe boasts stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from every room. This quiet area is not only beautiful but is also a birdwatcher's paradise, particularly at nearby Senri Beach, known for its turtle nesting grounds.

On the other hand, the Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto sits atop a hill overlooking the magnificent Hashigui-iwa Rocks. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific and the natural surroundings right from their rooms, outdoor pure springs, and common areas. Both hotels provide a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a relaxing and tranquil environment.

The Essence of Outdoors and Coffee Culture

The highlight of these packages is, of course, the outdoor brewed coffee experience. Staff recommend picturesque sites within the resorts where guests can indulge in the process of brewing coffee. The carefully curated coffee brewing kits include everything guests need to make their perfect cup, whether on hotel grounds or exploring nearby areas. Each site offers a unique aspect of the environment, creating an unforgettable memory paired with delicious coffee.

Near the Grand Mercure, the hidden gem of Kometsu Beach offers a serene spot for coffee lovers—a place to experience the sound of waves, the gentle caress of sea breezes, and the beauty of the ocean while savoring a well-crafted cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, at the Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto, guests can enjoy coffee in an open courtyard with magnificent views of the surrounding landscape, including the sunrise over the sea. The addition of freshly brewed coffee in such magical settings makes for lasting memories.

Distinctive Coffee Blends to Enjoy

Both hotels feature different varieties of coffee highlighting the region's uniqueness. The Grand Mercure introduces the Ethiopian Sidamo coffee, known for its sweet aroma and smooth acidity with fruity undertones. The Mercure, in contrast, offers Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro coffee, appreciated for its rich body and well-balanced flavors that ensure a clean and refreshing taste.

Each blend is meticulously roasted using Kishu Binchotan charcoal, enhancing the natural richness and flavor of the coffee, resulting in a perfect cup enjoyed in nature.

A Perfect Retreat Experience

The outdoor brewed coffee experience is not just about savoring a cup of coffee but also about embracing an all-encompassing retreat. Both resorts provide all-inclusive meals featuring buffet-style dining, access to various soft drinks, and local sweets. Relax in the hot springs and embrace a uniquely regional culinary experience.
